Friday

This week has been tough, packing and moving everything. I have been trying to keep the workout of the day updated as much as possible, but i apologize for not being on my toes!

Workouts have been non existent with the exception of max pull ups and dips, as most of the equipment is put away.

I noticed something that I had forgot about while doing some pull ups. Back when I was younger, I had a good friend who rock climbed, and fingers as hard as steel. He did 2 finger pull ups on his wall board.

I will get one of those, but in the meantime, try pull ups in a door jamb. all 4 fingers down to as few as you can go.

Wow! Talk about the kinetic chain at work!

Had a nice conversation over email with a friend regarding a certain workout he was doing. He said he found it easy and thought I should change the rep scheme.

I love it when the eyes are opening.

i write the general work outs for just about everyone, as you notice say like on the sprint workout, I just say "1/2" speed. that too anyone could mean any MPH or perceived exertion.

When doing your training, if you follow these few "guidelines", you can make any workout easier or harder.

Time-Intensity-Volume.

In the sprint workout, time would be the total amount of minutes ans seconds used in the workout.

Intensity we can say is the rate at which you are moving ie 1/2 speed, 1/4 speed etc.

Volume can almost mean 2 things: the total amount of work done in the entire regimen, or we can say it is the sprint distance. More often than not, total volume is more important that individual rep volume.

To make things harder or easier, is your choice. You NEED to keep track of the changes you made, so you don't end up doing the same workout over and over again.

You can't adapt to a non changing stimuli. If you train to hard to often, you will adapt by breaking down and getting sick or injured because your body needs a rest.

Tracking your training is the most important thing you can do besides just working out.

Without a map, how will you find the treasure?

Stay on the hunt,
